The khutor of Morozov (Моро́зов) was founded in the 1880s. In 1900, Morozovskaya railway station, named after it, was opened nearby. In 1910, the stanitsa of Taubeyevskaya (Таубе́евская) was established near the railway station. It was renamed Morozovskaya on April 24, 1917. Later, these two rural localities grew and merged, and the resulting settlement was granted town status in 1941.
